Tilakottamä-bali-putrayor brahma-çäpa-prastäva

Bali's Son and Tilakottamä Are Cursed by a Brähmana

Chapter 23: Verse 111-120

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 111.Placing there incense, jewel lamps, and a beautiful bed, he enjoyed sex with her and slept with her. 112.Bewildered by lust, he enjoyed sex with her in many ways. Tilottamä saw that he was very expert, more than Kämadeva himself. 113.Most expert at pleasure, she was very pleased by their sexual pastimes. Overcome with pleasure, she did not know whether it was day or night. 114.Passionately holding him to her breast, Tilottamä spoke to the lord of her life. 115.Tilottamä said: Beloved, when will I again see the handsome moon of your face? When will that auspicious day be? 116.O demon, how wonderfully handsome you are! How virtuous you are! No one more expert in sex than you. 117.In time you will forget me. A man is like a bee that goes to many flowers. A woman is different. The memory of her lover's embrace stays in her mind until the end of life. 118.It is because of past piety that one is able to meet saintly persons. Separation from saintly persons is more painful than death. 119.Association with saintly persons is filled with happiness. It is more rare and precious than residence in Svargaloka where one drinks nectar. On the other hand, association with the impious is like poison. 120.O great king, please stay for a moment. Please embrace me again. When you leave, my heart, mind, and breath will follow you.
